VIRTUAL WORKSHOP

OPERATION MMINDSHIFT: TEST DRIVE
Presented by Molting Men + Geezer Creative

FRIDAY, APRIL 25
11:00 AM – 12:30 PM PT
2:00 – 3:30 PM ET
On Zoom

Gentlemen*,

Join us for a free, 90-minute test flight of Operation MMindShift—the Gen-X career reboot built for creatives, by creatives who’ve lived the burnout and launched their comeback.

Whether you’re ready to ditch the golden handcuffs, explore new ways to work, or just figure out what’s next without joining a drum circle—this is your personal Rand McNally roadmap, geezer version.

*PROJECT MMAVEN
Coming soon: We’re piloting “PROJECT MMAVEN,” an all-women version of the framework. If you’d like to be added to the list, please email us. Thank you!!

This webinar will be recorded. No replay.

WHO SHOULD JOIN?

Creative Directors, designers, writers, producers, brand minds, idea guys (45+) who are:

  • Burnt out, boxed in, or just quietly wondering, “Is this all there is?”

  • Not ready to retire and definitely not ready to spend all day inhaling Little Debbie Snack Cakes.

  • Curious how to make the next chapter your own.

Whether you’re looking to break out or just need a break, this is the first step.

Learn more about our cohort: Operation MMindShift.

WHAT YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH

  • How this framework opens the door to side hustles, consulting, or working in different industries.

  • Some of the tools we use in our cohort to help men reset their confidence and shed the stuff that’s holding them back.

  • How the cohort program works, what it costs, and why it’s not for everyone.

  • Plus, a Zoom full of Gen-X dudes who can quote scenes from The Breakfast Club, hate Slack, and miss the glory days of “RadioShack.”

WHY THIS MATTERS

  • The job that once lit you up now just bleeds you out.

  • Your ‘dream gig’ turned into a trap.

  • And now you're the “seasoned vet” in a room full of nerds who look dazed and confused when you mention Led Zeppelin.

You’re not broken.
You’re just done pretending.
You’re on your comeback tour.

And it starts here—with 90 minutes that just might change everything.

SOUND LIKE YOU?

Then reserve your spot. It’s free. It’s 90 minutes. And it might just save you six months of spinning your wheels.

Only 30 Zoom seats available. No replay.

MEET YOUR HOSTS

This session is co-led by Molting Men founder auGi “SuperCharger” Garred and Geezer’s John Kieselhorst—two industry vets who’ve made the leap themselves.

HEAD COACH

auGi Garred
CODENAME: “SUPERCHARGER”
FOUNDER + CHIEF REINVENTION OFFICER
Molting Men

Creative madman. Coach. Comedy casualty.

  • auGi is author of the forthcoming book Running Naked Through the Valley of the Unemployed. 

    Over three decades, he’s launched four startups (with two exits), created groundbreaking campaigns for AT&T and the National MS Society, electrified audiences at The Second City, produced live shows for Bill Nye the Science Guy, was called “a brilliant funnyman” by the executive producer of The Late Late Show on CBS and totally bombed his audition for NBC’s Last Comic Standing.

    auGi founded Molting Men to build the kind of community he couldn’t find when he needed it most—one for Gen-X creative dudes who feel like Hermie from the Island of Misfit Toys—just older now. Hopefully wiser. And finally ready to take control of their destiny.

ASSistant COACH

John Kieselhorst
CO-FOUNDER / CCO ART + DESIGN
Geezer Creative

Agency veteran. Creative instigator. Chaos wrangler.

  • John’s a lifelong creative instigator with a knack for turning chaos into clarity. He’s led campaigns for brands like Domino’s, Lyft, and PopSockets, with deep experience at agencies like CP+B, Arnold, and David&Goliath. In his first foray into the Molting Men universe, he brings a grounded presence, a philosophical lens, and firsthand insight from building his own ventures—helping others shed what’s no longer working and create what’s next.
